This is similar to the issue reported and fixed in
https://github.com/dynup/kpatch/pull/528 which says ...
"Hard-coding the special section group sizes is unreliable.
Instead, determine them dynamically by finding the related

This patch resulted in a loadable livepatch. The alt section size in my
case was actually 14.
Thanks for the patch!
